Happy to take a look through this one. J Milburn (talk) 22:45, 15 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • I'm not clear on what is meant by "barbs".
  • The description of the Houghton portrait mentions that it's one of three- this one is the second, but what's the third? Also, is the Houghton portrait actually black and white, or is that just our photo of it?
  • Three looks to be incorrect; the source gives two. As for black-and-white, Edwards appears to have taken the image from a previous publication, perhaps a catalogue, as he has not been allowed to look at it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • "The date of the engraving was also taken into consideration" Sorry, what engraving? Do you mean the damage?
  • Philip Mould Gallery worth a redlink/explanation?
  • "Edwards likewise argues that the portrait was not of Jane" Awkward tense shift
  • Can I ask what makes you sure J. Stephan Edwards's website is reliable?

Generally seems very strong; seems I can't fault your articles. I was surprised to see the lack of peer-reviewed publications cited, but then a search revealed why! J Milburn (talk) 23:14, 15 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Butting in, try and weave the two links in the "See also" section into the article body. And good luck; its shaping up as a fine article. Ceoil (talk) 09:40, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for the comments, Ceoil. I can't think of a way to work the Streatham Worthies into the article without going off topic. The link to Jane's cultural impact would be placeable, as a piped link, and I might do that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:56, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I'm still struggling with "The age of the engraving was also taken into consideration, and found to be contemporaneous with the rest of the painting." What engraving? J Milburn (talk) 13:30, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Nobody could ever describe you as a dolt Crisco, but whatever. Ceoil (talk) 14:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
